Este livro é fruto dos debates realizados no II Seminário de Pensamento Social Brasileiro – intelectuais, cultura e democracia, cujos autores, gentilmente, se dispuseram a encarar o desafio de compartilhar suas reflexões com público mais amplo, agora em formato de livro.
Derivada de debates realizados pelo NETSIB – UFES, a Coleção Pensamento Social Brasileiro reúne textos de pesquisadores interessados nas relações entre intelectuais, cultura e democracia contribuindo decisivamente para a área de estudos do pensamento social brasileiro, em uma rara combinação de linguagem acessível e rigor científico.
A Sociologia como disciplina científica possui uma história, uma trajetória, no Brasil, cujas primeiras incursões se deram em fins do século XIX, passando pela sua introdução como área de conhecimento no Ensino Superior ainda na primeira metade do século XX, chegando à contemporaneidade com uma produção bastante bem sedimentada. Ao longo desse percurso, existiram momentos mais favoráveis e períodos desfavoráveis, contudo a Sociologia se mantém. Essa área do saber segue oferecendo várias possibilidades de se pensar o Brasil, a sociedade com suas contradições, aspirações e tradições. Os textos aqui reunidos, no segundo volume da série Perspectivas da Sociologia no Brasil, apresentam reflexões sobre a obra de Heleieth Saffioti (1934-2010), Maria Isaura Pereira de Queiroz (1918-2018) e Lilia Schwarcz (1957-).

Why do courts hold political power-holders accountable in some democratic and democratizing countries, but not in others? And, why do some courts remain very timid while others - under seemingly similar circumstances - become 'hyper-active'? This is valuable contribution to the ongoing debate over the issue of democratic accountability.

The Davis-Bacon Act is a United States federal law that established the requirement that prevailing wages must be paid on public works projects. In this book, Armand J. Thieblot argues that the law was passed under false pretenses and based on flawed economic logic. Despite this, the law continues to expand in scope and increase in cost. The act is supported by a substantial bureaucracy within the Department of Labor that has resisted all efforts at substantive modernization or reform. Today, the Davis-Bacon Act is the bedrock upon which stands one of the last bastions of private unionization in the construction industry. This book provides a compelling list of fifty-four separate reasons wh...
